CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 12 Discussion

[Super Freak]

Those bombed tries from Aitken and Hammer coming back to bite them on the ass..

5 teams on 16 points, possibly 6 if Raiders win tomorrow. Ridiculously close.

Think they've all had byes except us and Rabbits though.

 

[JayPee]

I'm not moved by those two teams. Clearly we are still the 2nd best qld team in the comp....

Yep and Panthers, Storm and Sharks are getting their second bye next week while we won't have our first until Round 16.

The NRL, epitomizing fairness.

Hughes admitting he came in late last week on Flegler as the panel all laughs together

 

[Xzei]

That contract extension for Payten until 2026 looks an extremely poor piece of business from the cowboys. I can see them having a Hook MK2 situation with him if he cant turn it around soon. He was poor in his first year, excellent last year but its fallen off a cliff again for them.

Shame really.

Only shame with the Payten era so far was their top 4 finish last year

I couldnt find anything sarcastic enough to put after the " Shame really " comment

Was watching the Lions (great win - 7 in a row) so late to the Qld next gen halfback discussion but honestly, post-DCE / Hunt, Qld is looking at a stop gap and I think it will actually be Fogarty. He can fill a role for a year or two until one of Walker / Duffy / Weaver / Mam / Boyd / Pezet (is he Qld eligible?) are ready - hopefully at least one of that lot comes good.

JayPee,

Do you think this spine would be worth a shot (I know it pretty much can't happen because of Chester's injury but):

1. Chester (got another kid who can slot in there in the mean time? Throw Holmes back there?)
6. Dearden
7. Drinkwater
9. Robson

14. No idea but not Granville

Pezet played for NSW U18/U19 a couple years back when Mozer did the piledriver, so that's a no go

Haha fair, I just assumed because he plays for the Sunshine Coast Storm.
